new release on blood at ajwrb.
associated jehovahs witnesses for reform on blood has published a new press release informing the public and medical care providers of a product that could mean the difference between life and death for witness patients suffering from various conditions with either a primary or secondary bleeding disorder.
this press release is available on the front page of our associations web site.
Nice. So you take plasma, remove a few "minor fractions", and voila you are left with a minor fraction. Now just transfuse the two seperately, and you are set.
If I didn't know any better I'd say the Watchtower is trying to slowly dismantle the Blood Doctrine out of existence while showing that the Biblical refusal of blood has not changed.
blood doctrinally well informed?
today i loaded a new article to my blog addressing a particular view watchtower wants doctors to have of the community of jehovahs witnesses compared to what watchtower is actually doing.
this article includes an excerpt from an article written by a watchtower representative of its department of hospital information services.
Speaking from experience:
Nowhere in the literature or videos could I find information that EPO takes days before it starts having a meaningful affect.
Not knowing this, a close friend of mine was treated with EPO and iron injections after a massive blood loss. They died.
Reading all the blood articles is a confusing mess, especially when you get into the fractions. Some Christians feel this way... (quote a previous stand), Some Christians feel this way (present a more logical, or less logical, viewpoint). Provide some arguments (of various logical coherence to back up each viewpoint). Sometimes, ake a negative bias towards one of the sides (such as is the case with the somewhat frowned upon but "conscience matter" hemoglobin fractions). Then say that it is up to each Christian to decide for himself, and they are responsible for their own decision. The irony is that more than a few witnesses spend their time trying to "read between the lines" and see if the so-called "conscience" matter is being cast in a negative or positive light to make their decision.
does anyone know if these publications are available?
i don't mean "my local kingdom hall", sorry.. - the nations shall know that i am jehovah .

i love you all!
Best Wishes!
See you in a week!
Indeed. That's why the UN was established in the first place.
we need more information as to what sort of person gb member david splane is.
.
there is very little about him that is known..
David Splane at a 2010 District Convention. I was a bit dissapointed at a few misleading statements:
1) Referred to "Rutherford, A prominent member of the Governing Body". This was misleading because there was no concept of a Governing Body in Rutherford's time, and the Board of directors did not make any doctrinal decisions. Rutherford wasn't into committees, he sacked the Watchtower editorial committee (starting 1925), sacked the democratically elected bodies of elders, and setup a hierarchy which he called a "theocracy" (1938).
2) Stated that the new creation brochures use their quotes honestly. Some of the quotes are still contextually innacurate, but there is a little footnote by the quotes that the person being quoted believes in evolution. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that maybe they really don't know how to use a reference accurately.
been lurking since last august and figured i'd sign up.

this board already):.
@breakfast of champions,
Welcome to the forum! Look forward to hearing more from you.
lets face it, we don't know what humans are.
science is doing a good job at uncovering many facts about us, but even science cannot explain consciousness yet.
conciousness is still a strong mystery to us.
What could be more important than issues relating to life and eternity.
How we treat fellow humans
How we treat the environment
What we leave behind for our children

All I want to do before I die is be able to tell someone that I don't think Michael the Archangel is Jesus without any fear.
not me.
